Poem by Stephen Crane

* * *

Once a man clambering to the housetops
Appealed to the heavens.
With strong voice he called to the deaf spheres;
A warrior’s shout he raised to the suns.
Lo, at last, there was a dot on the clouds,
And -- at last and at last --
-- God -- the sky was filled with armies.

1. Many red devils ran from my heart
2. Two or three angels
3. You tell me this is God?
4. The ocean said to me once
5. In the night
